HISTORY’S
RETRIBUTION

AN ORIGINAL ROLEPLAYING SYSTEM

Wish
Chronicles.

FIRST EDITIONIn development

The rules behind the world. Built for powerful characters, active defenses, and a party that fights together.

A fight everyone
takes part in.

Wish Chronicles is growing out of the campaign’s custom rules into its own system. Familiar terms such as action, bonus action, turn, and round remain, while combat is being reworked around shorter turns and meaningful interaction.

The foundations below introduce the direction of First Edition. They are not a replacement for the complete rulebook.

01

Two turns. One round.

Initiative runs through the order twice. Each character takes one action on each turn, with one bonus action and one reaction across the round. Movement is shared between both turns.

02

Defenses you choose.

Withstand an attack, spend Guard to Block its pressure, or Evade. AC and saving throws remain part of resolving danger.

03

Break their Guard.

Maximum Guard equals half Proficiency Bonus, rounded up. Breaking it creates a brief window of increased damage and weakened defenses that allies can exploit.

04

Make the opening together.

Coordinate turns, force movement, or commit to a weapon clash. Teamwork changes what the enemy can do, not only how much damage the party deals.

Before you open the book

Is this the finished system?

No. The core rules are being written, and character classes still need conversion. This is the home for the developing First Edition.

Do I need to know the campaign?

You can explore the system without reading campaign spoilers. Setting introductions and rules will remain clearly separated.

Where will downloads appear?

The rulebook shelf on this page will hold the published edition and supporting player references when they are ready.
